   WILLIAM HENRY ALLEN, son of Dea. Samuel and Julietta (Metcalf) Allen, was 
born July 2, 1S21, in Medway. In early youth he exhibited a desire to learn 
dentistry, and after -receiving an academic education he entered the office of 
his brother, Dr. C. C. Allen, in Norwich, Conn., whom he succeeded in that 
city, and after Dr. C. C. Allen's death, in 1857, he succeeded to his practice 
in New York City. He was a skillful operator and a high-minded man. He was one 
of the founders of the New York College of Dentistry, filling the chairs of 
president and professor, and was for several years president of the board of 
trustees of said college. He inherited an inventive and mechanical talent from 
his father, which served a good purpose in his practice. He married, May 10, 
1853, Lizzie R. Bently, of Norwich, Conn., who died, and he married, in 1872, 
a second wife, Linda M. Sangree. He died Oct. 23, 1882, leaving a widow, but
